Since 1978, this Minnesota marina on the Mississippi River has depended on its AIRE-O2® aeration system year-round. During winters where temperatures plunge to -30 oF below zero, the aerators keep the marina free from ice, eliminating the time and expense of removing dock moorings.

Algae and odors are controlled in summer when temperatures can surpass 100 oF. During one severe drought stricken summer, the AIRE-O2® aerators saved the marina millions of dollars in revenues. 'Without the AIRE-O2® , we’d be out of business', said an official. The AIRE-O2® aerator’s oxygenation and mixing capabilties at the marina were featured on ABC-TV News Tonight as a ‘Solution to Pollution‘. A 20 year performance that keeps on going..Contact us for more information.

During winter, the AIRE-O2® aerators are used for ice control.

The marina wisely chose to take care of the water they had left during a severe drought by adding even more aerators.

The Problem: A large vegetable processing facility was experiencing problems with its lagoon surface aerators. The company’s treatment process includes a collection and screening assembly, two anaerobic stabilization ponds and a 40 million gallon aerated lagoon. The aeration lagoon is used for BOD reduction and polishing before the water is discharged to a near-by creek. Several surface aerators had been used to provide the oxygen in the aeration lagoon. However, the surface aerators were beginning to fail...

The Problem: The treated effluent from all wastewater treatment plants across the country must meet local dissolved oxygen (DO) limits before discharging into receiving waters. A new municipal WWTP in southern Mississippi, designed by Carollo Engineers, has a pressurized effluent line to discharge into a local river. Since the line is pressurized, the standard method for increasing DO, a cascade (aka waterfall), was not a valid option.The Solution: The engineer chose a Mazzei Injector aeration system for maximum...
